[Comment From Dinah]
As the state’s only public university, UH is a pivotal part of the community. You have been on the job for a couple of months, but the community has heard little about your vision. The Hot Seat is the first time the broader community has had a chance to hear from you. Why haven’t you made an attempt to share your vision and why haven’t you reached out to the community?

With a serious spike in H1N1 expected here soon, what is UH doing to be prepared? Is there a plan in place for a large outbreak on campus? If not, why not?

For many of our children, the university of Hawaii is the only option. What do you intend to do improve the quality of instruction and the reputation of UH? I know you are new, but you must know that the UH has some work to do. You seldom hear anything positive about UH aside from football, and now even that’s not the case. I look forward to your reply. Mahalo.

Is the UH administration top heavy, with too many executives? Shouldn’t some of them be let go?

[Comment From Steve]
Given the serious budget crisis the UH system faces, is it really wise to go ahead with construction of a UH-West Oahu campus?

How do the salaries of your executive team compare with our peers? Tough times call for tough measures...are you willing to cut the salaries for your executive team to save classroom instruction for the students?
